A tale of two stories
Planning for the Kearny Mesa property where a contested office tower is being built began 10 years ago with a master plan to redevelop the General Dynamics site with two-and three-story buildings. When the city approved a 12-story building, no one consulted the FAA, which has declared it a hazard.
